If there are any remaining spots, we will open enrollment for currently enrolled students who will not be returning for the 26/27 school year.
Summer Behavior Policy:
As we have shared since the beginning of the school year, Lead teachers have summers off. Assistant teachers and classroom support staff will continue working during the summer program to ensure consistency. Due to this, our behavior management policy will reflect the following changes.
- The following challenging behaviors are considered unacceptable and could result in early pick-up or summer program dismissal:
- Intentionally harming a peer or adult using physically harmful actions such as open/closed hand hitting, pushing, kicking, or pinching
- Destruction of school property inside or outside of the classroom
- Biting in the Preschool or PreK classrooms
- To help ensure safety for all students and adults during the summer program, if a child intentionally harms an adult or peer 3 times during the program day, the caregiver will be called to pick them up within 1 hour.
- To help ensure safety for all students and adults during the summer programs, if a child intentionally harms an adult or peer 3 times during the program day, the caregiver will be called to pick up the child within 1 hour. If a child is sent home early due to challenging behaviors 3 times in the span of a week, the child will be considered for dismissal from the summer program. If dismissed, a refund will be processed for the remaining prepaid portion of the summer program. There will be no meetings held for behavior plans during the summer program. Teacher and family partnership is vital to ensure the safety of all students and adults at TNS.
